ModRoc

Well, as many of you know, we at ModRoc, usually do not like to review “popular” bands. We prefer smaller, “up-and-coming” bands. This band hit it off a few years ago with Sugar We’re Going Down but that was the extent of their outbreak. As with many bands, their first single was plastered all over TV and radio and quickly everyone was sick of it. Don’t get us started on their last album, how many songs were exactly the same but with different lyrics and changing the chord progression slightly?

So recently we were given the opportunity to preview their new album, Infinity On High. Going into expecting very little, we barely paid attention through the first batch of songs. 3 songs into it, we realized, this is pretty good and original. As we got deeper into the CD, Fall Out Boy seemed to have come up with a brand new style and mixed it with their old style. Every single song is different and has a catchy tune. It seems the band wanted to evolve from pop listeners to an alternative listeners, and largely succeeded. In fact, they’re featured on the cover of Alternative Press for February. (more…)
